Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for teens and adults, this treatment avoids metal brackets and wires, allowing for easier oral hygiene and dietary freedom. Patients wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, gradually shifting teeth into their desired positions.
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces correct misalignment through brackets and wires. Metal braces are durable and cost-effective, while ceramic options blend with teeth for a subtler appearance. Both options are suitable for complex cases requiring precise tooth movement.
Early Treatment
Early intervention addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-11. This phase focuses on correcting jaw growth, crossbites, and crowding to prevent future complications. Treatment may reduce the need for extractions or surgery later, ensuring smoother adolescent care.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized orthodontic solutions for adults, including Invisalign and discreet ceramic braces. Treatment considers mature jaw structure and periodontal health, offering options that fit professional lifestyles while improving alignment and bite function.
Virtual Consultations
Complimentary virtual consultations allow patients to begin treatment planning from home. Using submitted photos, Dr. West evaluates orthodontic needs and provides preliminary recommendations, streamlining the process for busy individuals.
